Hi,
All of the threads I can find relating to unsigned contracts seem to involve agencies.
I have been lucky enough to bypass agencies in my current contract which commenced 5 months ago and I issued the client with a standard 'specialist supplier' contract obtained via the Professional Contractor's Group.
My client has never signed and returned the contract despite being politely reminded to do so about two months ago. The client has paid my invoices (although rarely on time) so does this mean that in so-doing, they accept the terms of the contract?
Also, I have been notifed verbally that my contract will be terminated on 30th Sept but to date (14th Sept) I have not received the 30 days written notice required in the contract terms. Given that the client has not signed the contract, does this mean that I can't hold them to it?
Has anyone else had this experience and if so, how did you resolve it?
